OBS

Trois cas se présentent : l'alimentation continue en direct sur la plaque, l'alimentation en mouillage via le système d'encrage (le plus connu étant bien sûr le système Dahlgren) et enfin la combinaison des deux systèmes cités précédemment.

OBS

En français, «mouillage» désigne à la fois l'action et le système.
